Universities

Earlier on, I was tidying my room and came across the three University prospectuses that Mother had sent off for me. (They're for the University of Gloustershire, the University of York and the University of Swansea.) Bored, I sat down and started browsing the contents pages of the courses and thinking about which ones interested me and would benefit me.

The University of York was the first one that I looked upon and to great disappointment. Yes, Psychology was in there, but only Psychology. No Clinical Psychology, no Occupational Psychology, and more importantly, no Criminal Psychology. You can only do Psychology, and it's not even a joint degree. It has amazing grades and is in the top ten schools for Psychology, but I'd honestly prefer to specialise. Y'know?

The University of Gloustershire was amazing. It had Psychology as a joint degree, and when it said the other available courses to go with it, it had Creative Writing, Criminology and Sociology. Now, one must admit when they have a skill (or a calling) and mine is writing, so being able to do Creative Writing is amazing. I'm amazingly interested in Criminology and I'm interested in and good at Sociology, so it's a win-win situation! Another bonus is that the University of Gloustershire has two campuses (one in Glouster and one in Cheltenham) and the campus for all of these courses is in Cheltenham... Cheltenham being one of my favourite places ever! Then, when I looked at the Creative Writing course itself, you could do that AND Publishing: Books and Magazines. So if I was to have a serious change of heart about being a Criminal Psychologist, I could simply do that. Yay!

The University of Swansea is somehwere that I don't really want to go, but for some reason Mother is desperate for me to go there whilst Dad is desperate for me to go to Oxford or Cambridge, but that's a different story. Anyway, Swansea offers Criminology, Sociology, Psychology and Zoology (which I'm interested in). Needless to say, I don't want to go there.

So yeah, I haven't even sat a majority of my GCSEs yet, but hey; I'M PREPARED!
